I fed you ten minutes ago!!

Tim and Jen rope old friend Paul Jay into talking about a very stupid Stephen King shapeshifting energy vampires vs. kitties flick, Sleepwalkers.

Errata: Newsies actually came out April 8th, 1992, but it’s probably safe to assume that no one wanted to see it on that date, either.

IGN has a very good interview with director Mick Garris, in which he talks about his work on much better horror properties like The Stand.

Can’t get enough of Paul? Listen to the episode where he joined us to discuss Warren Beatty’s singular mania, Dick Tracy! Or just mainline all of his guest appearances via this collection!

226 – Tough Guys Don’t Dance

Oh man! Oh god! Oh man!

Oh God! Oh man! Jen and Tim and Mets devotee David J. Roth square up with Norman Mailer’s demented neo-noir, Tough Guys Don’t Dance.

Read David’s piece on a true American original, B-movie stalwart Wings Hauser. Did you know that he was in Beastmaster 2: Through the Portal of Time? Well now you do!

Collider profiled the one and only ersatz Charles Bronson (or the most prominent and successful, we assume), Hungarian actor Robert Bronzi.

Hear Wings Hauser sing the concluding track for Vice Squad, “Neon Slime.” His vocals have the same gusto as his average film performance, as you might imagine.

How to Come Alive With Norman Mailer (the documentary Jen wanted to call “How to Be a Cool Fuckin’ Guy”) provides a breezy overview of the colorful life of the author.

On YouTube: Mailer comes out swinging at Gore Vidal on the Dick Cavett Show, and gets bitch-slapped back by Vidal, Cavett and author Janet Flanner.
